Hepatitis B and C virus infections are still a major public health problem; there are approximately 500 million HBV and 200 million HCV carriers worldwide. This special issue of Intervirology presents articles on a newly developed range of vaccines against these widespread viruses, including new recombinant HBV vaccines, recent varieties of recombinant core particles and also DNA vaccines, which have been developed over the last 10 years but not yet been tested in larger animals and humans. In addition to the thorough discussion of HBV and HCV vaccination, this issue further provides articles which clearly demonstrate that the development of vaccines against other viral infections including dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis and papilloma infection is a top priority as well. Thus a broad range of vital topics in antiviral vaccination is covered, which certainly renders this publication valuable to anyone working in the area.
